  • 085. Let's Read Epicurus Together!

    The Accented Philosophy podcast changes its format today! Instead of the short, inspirational messages, I'll bring you longer, live sessions, in which we read a philosophy classic together. The first five sessions are about Epicurus' Principal Doctrines, the best introduction to Epicurean philosophy.

    If you'd like to participate in the livestream, you can find it on YouTube:
